- elastic and “elastomeric” as used herein refer to any material that upon application of a biasing force, can stretch to an elongated length of at least about 110% of its relaxed, original length (i.e. can stretch to 10 % more than its original length), without rupture or breakage, and upon release of the applied force, recovers at least about 40% of its elongation.
- a material that has an initial length of 100 mm can extend at least to 110 mm, and upon removal of the force would retract to a length of 106 mm (40% recovery).
- the term “inelastic” refers herein to any material that does not fall within the definition of "elastic” above.
- elongated refers to any material that upon application of a biasing force, can stretch to an elongated length of at least about 110% of its relaxed, original length (i.e. can stretch to 10 %), without rupture or breakage, and upon release of the applied force, shows little recovery, less than about 40% of its elongation.
- activating refers to the process of making a substrate, or an elastomeric laminate more extensible than it was prior to the process.
- Live stretch includes stretching elastic and bonding the stretched elastic to a substrate. After bonding, the stretched elastic is released causing it to contract, resulting in a "corrugated” substrate.
- the corrugated substrate can stretch as the corrugated portion is pulled to about the point that the substrate reaches at least one original flat dimension. However, if the substrate is also elastic, then the substrate can stretch beyond the relaxed length of the substrate prior to bonding with the elastic. The elastic is stretched at least 25% of its relaxed length when it is bonded to the substrate.

- a substrate advances 104 in the MD through the first nip 126 between the rotating first roller 106 and second roller 108. And the engagement of the pattern knife 116 on the first roller 106 with the anvil surface 124 on the second roller 108 cuts trim 128 from the substrate 104. As discussed above, the trim 128 may be cut in discrete pieces 130 and/or continuous lengths 146. As the substrate 104 advances from the first nip 126, the third roller 134 engages the trim 128 to help separate the trim from the substrate.
- the first circumferential surfaces 142 of the trim assist rollers 140 engage the trim 128 and divert the trim into the second nips 136 between the trim assist rollers 140 and the first roller 106.
- engagement of the trim 128 with the first circumferential surfaces 142 of the trim assist rollers 140 help to ensure that the trim is separated from the advancing substrate 104 that might otherwise be attached via a few uncut fibers.
- the trim 128 may subsequently be diverted from the advancing substrate 104 and into a vacuum chute 148 or other similar apparatus for disposal.
- Figure 12 shows yet another configuration that utilizes a trim assist belt 143 instead of a trim assist roller.
- the trim assist belt 143 may be configured as an endless belt supported by two or more rollers 152.
- the trim removal apparatus 100 may also include a third roller 134 defining a second nip 136 between the first roller 106 and the third roller 134.
- the third roller 134 is located adjacent the first roller 106 and is adapted to rotate around a third axis of rotation 138.
- the trim assist belt 142 diverts and force the trim 128 to pass through the second nip 136 while the remainder of the substrate 104 advances in the machine direction MD.
- the trim assist belt 143 may be in contact with the outer circumferential surface 122 of the first roller 106. In other embodiments, the trim assist belt 143 may be separated from and define a gap between the outer circumferential surface 122 of the first roller 106. It is to be appreciated that the gap may be configured to define various distances, such as for example, the caliper of the substrate 104. As discussed above with reference to the first circumferential surfaces 142 of the trim assist roller 140, the trim assist belt 143 may define a shape that corresponds with the shape of the trim.
